Basketball, coached by Mr. Roblee, grew from intramural competition in 1950, to participation in the sectionals in 1932. Baseball was also a major sport. In 1955 1'-ir.

OLD SCHOOL BUILDING FOREWORD A full awareness of the uncertainties of the future has foe- tered a wish to preserve for you in this volume of the KELLOGGIAN a brief outline of the Kellogg Schoo1's beginning and development. The founder of the present school is well known personally to many of you, as are the events attendant to its beginning. The school grew out of a vision of the Honorable A. L. Kellogg, a via- ion of improved educational facilities and opportunities for the children of this com unity, his birthplace.
